Michelle Obama heckled: How'd she handle it?

June 05, 2013 22:23

Michelle Obama threatened to walk out of a Washington fundraiser Tuesday night after a heckler interrupted her speech.

It was a rare moment of unscripted anger from a first lady who has generally avoided direct political confrontation and has approval ratings higher than those of her husband.

"Heckling at fund-raisers is a fairly common practice, but it's almost always directed at the president, which is why Michelle Obama must have been somewhat taken aback,' writes Adam Martin in New York Magazine's Daily Intelligencer.
